<div>I am still having problem with this website:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi?&i=GEOS-5/yotc/0.25_deg/assim/inst3_3d_aer_Nv" target="_blank">http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi?&i=GEOS-5/yotc/0.25_deg/assim/inst3_3d_aer_Nv</a></div>
<div>I am trying to download data and I need to set up the times so that the time steps are every 0 hours (ie January 3 2009 0:00Z, NOT January 3 2009 0:00Z, so I can use it with NCEP wind data also with time times ending on 0 hours (ie January 3 2009 0:00Z). I tried to make the start time for the data I ordered January 3 2009 0:00 Z(I used many start and end dates including March 14 2009, etc.). I get a netcdf file but when I try to open it in GrADS I get the following message:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ga-> sdfopen inst3_3d_aer_Nv-201001200048.nc<br>Scanning self-describing file: inst3_3d_aer_Nv-201001200048.nc<br> NetCDF: Index exceeds dimension bound<br>SDF Error: nc_get_vara_double failed to read coordinate axis value<br>
gadsdf: Error reading first time value in SDF file.<br>ga-></div>
<div> </div>
<div>How can I download aerosol data so that I can use it with NCEP data (<a href="http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html">http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html</a>)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried downloading data from </div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi?&i=GEOS-5/yotc/0.25_deg/assim/inst3_3d_aer_Nv" target="_blank">http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi?&i=GEOS-5/yotc/0.25_deg/assim/inst3_3d_aer_Nv</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>using the original begin and end time values under time range (January 1 2009 3:00 Z)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>and I cannot use this data set with the NCEP data from website :<br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html">http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>since this data has time steps ending with 0 hours Z instead od 3 hours Z from the aerosol data. How do I resolve this or at least how where can I find aerosol/wind data that I can use together?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>

<div>I have been trying this several times and still I keep getting this error message.</div>
<div>For the tme steps on the data requested I need to have start on 0 hours time wise to be compatible with other data sets.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you help me get data from this website or if you have these data files already to e-mail them to me?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
